What is the use of various tapping machine?

 In a word, these tools are machine implements that utilize taps to process internal threads. Such internal threads facilitate the disassembly and connection of parts.
 

How to choose a suitable one for yourself?

1. Clarify your processing requirements

Including the materials to be processed, their properties, the thread types, and the size range, etc.

2. Understand the size range that different tapping tools can handle

Ensure that their processing capacity meets the size requirements of your workpiece, such as the required diameter and length of the processed materials.

For the aperture size, consider whether it is a through hole or a blind hole, as well as the processing difficulty and precision requirements corresponding to different apertures.

3. Understand the tapping range of these tools

Select according to the actual size range of the threads to be tapped and make sure the selected tool can cover it. Usually, the range for some tools is M3 - M12 (metric threads).

4. Precision and stability

For high-precision thread processing requirements, choose a tool with higher processing precision and stability. This can ensure the production of precision threads that meet the requirements and reduce the generation of defective products.

5. Degree of automation

Select according to the production requirements and the level of automation requirements. A fully automatic tapping tool can boost production efficiency and lessen the workload for operators. However, a manual or semi-automatic tool might be better for small batches or specific processing needs.


 

Hot Tapping Mchaine Types

Now let's look at different types of tapping tools. There are hot tap machines, pneumatic tapping machines, electric tapping machines, hand tapping machines, auto tapping machines, and some tools with tapping arms.
 

Pneumatic Tapping Machines

Have certain advantages. They are driven by compressed air, safe with large torque output at low pressure. They can tap various materials, have overload protection, are lightweight and efficient, and have a low cost. They can handle heavy workpieces and tap at different angles.

However, they also have disadvantages. They need an air compressor, are noisy, and their torque and speed are affected by air pressure fluctuations.
 

Electric Tapping Machines

Offer advantages such as good overload protection, stable torque, quick positioning, high efficiency. They reduce tap damage and have a wide working range. They are quiet and stable.

But they are relatively expensive and have a higher maintenance cost.
 

Fully Automatic Tapping Machines

Have high automation, increasing production efficiency and saving labor. They have easy stroke adjustment, safety devices, high thread accuracy, and can do multi-axis processing.

But they have a high cost, require technical skills, are large in volume, and are complex to maintain.

MRCM Electric Tapping Machnes have a tapping range from M2 to M48. Our Electric Tapping Machines use a tapping arm and have an efficient auto tapping machine mode.Click Here To Learn More!
